Peter Obi Accuses APC Government of Pushing 50 Million Nigerians into Poverty

Former Nigerian Governor Peter Obi, a presidential candidate for the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, criticizes the APC government for allegedly pushing 50 million Nigerians into poverty. He refers to a recent World Bank report indicating a sharp rise in poverty levels to 139 million people, up from 87 million in 2023.

Obi calls for a shift in economic policies towards human development and urges the government to prioritize the well-being of citizens. He warns that Nigeria cannot achieve meaningful progress under the current circumstances.
